To-day
So here hath been dawning
Another blue day;
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
Out of Eternity
This new day is born ;
Into Eternity
At night will return.
Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did ;
So soon it forever
form all eyes is hid.
Here hath been dawning
Another blue day ;
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
